The blank applet

SUMMARY
I know the intended way of creating a shortcut to change keyboard layout is through system settings, but it also should theoretically be possible to add a shortcut through the keyboard layout applet settings. Sadly, if it is done that way, ins 


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have several different keyboard layouts
2. See the language shorthand in the system tray
3. Click it and the layout changes
4. Right click on the applet -> Configure keyboard layout... -> Keyboard Shortcuts
5. Add a shortcut
6. Use the shortcut

OBSERVED RESULT
An empty applet appears
See screenshot

EXPECTED RESULT
The language is changed as if the applet was clicked

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I'm not sure what would be the correct way of fixing it since having 2 different ways of switching layouts is very janky. Maybe the applet settings and the system settings should be synced? Maybe opening the applet settings shortcut section should open the system settings?
